Forensic report reveals no Gang-rape in RG Kar case: Sources

The investigation conducted by the CBI so far into the murder of the 31-year-old Kolkata trainee doctor has indicated that she was not gang-raped, reports said. The probe suggests that Sanjoy Roy, a civic volunteer who was arrested for the gruesome crime at the government-run RG Kar Medical College and Hospital on August 9, was the only person involved.

The forensic report, according to sources, indicates that the doctor was raped and killed by Roy, a civic volunteer who was attached to the Kolkata Police. The DNA report has also reportedly confirmed the involvement of one person. The revelations are key given initial theories and allegations of the likelihood of gang rape and blame game over investigations into the crime, the barbarity of which shook an entire nation, triggering mass protests.

Sanjoy Roy was arrested on August 10, a day after the half-naked body of the doctor was found in the seminar hall of the hospital. The CBI also scoured through CCTV footage that showed Roy entering the building where the doctor was found murdered.

Roy, who has a history of domestic abuse and had access to all departments of the hospital, was arrested after his Bluetooth headset was found at the crime scene. However, the CBI is yet to conclude its investigation on the involvement of more people in the case. The agency is likely to send the forensic report to independent experts for their final opinion.
